About Yourself:
My family back home had the 120g tank just collecting dust. Last summer, my girlfriend and I hauled the tank on TOP of our SUV (because it wouldn't fit INSIDE) through a tropical storm and somehow managed to bring it home safely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Neither of us knew much about fish, let alone Lake Malawi African Cichlids, but we have had the most interesting time learning along the way. We did - and still do - a lot of research and gather advice from a LOT of people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think we found a hobby for life!

Advice:
Do fishless cycling. It takes patience but it is worth it especially while doing a cichlid tank as with cichlids several new ones should be introduced at the same time. My tank took a month to cycle. I used ammonia bought at ace hardware. I stocked 8 fish in the first week, 8 fish in the second week and 12 in the third in the following order of least agression. Rusty, electric yellow, red blotch, johanii, red zebra, white zebra, auratus, demonsani
